Owen was taking blows to his pride. Her frown when she saw his cartoon. Her willingness to accept an engineer on board. So far, the ship had not required any repairs, but in his previous chassis he had always been perfectly capable of doing his own maintenance and modifications. But now -- he was so much more vulnerable -- and would have to accept foreign hands working on his … temporary form as the ship. He had planned on instructing Julianna in such things, though he had doubts as to her aptitude for such work given the amount of cognitive resources she devoted to her actual occupation.
In sum, Owen was pouting. The only signs of it were his momentary silence and the subtle change to the hue of the blue lights to something more somber and darker.
“Ambassador.” His voice was more sober over her wrist communicator. He intended to speak only to her but she had seemed disturbed by his use of the whisper function, so perhaps this would be better. “We were discussing our course of action prior to the discovery of our intruder. We are approaching hyperspace lanes. What are your instructions?”
“If I may suggest, it appears that a Federated Alliance scientist has found himself stranded on Doria 4P8 on the Udiri belt. The F.A. has sent alerts out to idle ships available for rescue. I will note that Monarchy intelligence crafts have been known to use Udiri belt for long range surveillance collection. If we accepted the rescue mission, it would allow me an opportunity to case the belt for Monarchial crafts and potentially access a cache of intel. Moreover, the scientist is to be delivered to Kriion Prime which you earlier indicated was a destination you were interested in.”
